Embedded Systems · AI · Full-Stack — 4th-year Software Engineering student at Samsun University · Software team lead at Spectraloop Hyperloop

01 — In short

I build end-to-end systems where hardware meets software: from STM32-based control software to OCR systems running in the field and AI models designed to run on microcontrollers.

For three seasons I have led the 11-person software team of Spectraloop at TEKNOFEST Hyperloop. I work on STM32-based control software, CAN Bus and Modbus RTU communication, and fail-safe architectures. At the TEKNOFEST 2026 Hyperloop Development Competition, my team and I took 1st place in Türkiye in the Technology Demonstration category and 3rd place in both the Performance and Defined Problem Solving categories.

During my internship at Samsun Teknopark, I built a field-validated line monitoring system that uses OCR to read the screens of production machines with no data output. As a co-founder of Kıyı Medya, I run the agency's software unit and build corporate websites end to end, from design to launch.

My goal is to ship end-to-end products by bringing together embedded systems, edge AI, and full-stack development.
